I don't see where it does either - until Blue Toad publishes information about the breach. But even then, as part of the breach investigation, that data may well have been provided to the FBI. That's one purpose of the NCFTA, AFAIK, to serve as a conduit during breach. I think it's irresponsible for journalists to say conclusively that one organization or other never touched the file when they don't have proof either way.
My original theory was that some ad service provider, analytics company, or app developer was working with the FBI on an investigation/attack and overzealously shared their customer's details (bad, bad--also horrific the amount of personal data collected, if Antisec's description of the original data set is true); but it could also follow that they were breached, hackers were circulating their database dump, and it was part of evidence in their investigation.
